Canon PowerShot G1X leak

Wells Fargo Advisors has just lifted the veil of another leak, where it will comprise of a wide range of point-and-shoot cameras that are scheduled for a CES release next week. Of course, now that we know there will be a spanking new G-series PowerShot model heading our way from Canon, where it is known as the G1X, it has certainly whet our appetites enough to want to know more. I admit, when I first saw “G1X”, my thought processes immediately shifted to the Panasonic GX-1, and hopefully these manufacturers would put in more thought when it comes to model naming conventions of their upcoming devices. Sporting a 1.5″, 14.3-megapixel sensor alongside an accompanying 28-112mm zoom lens which starts at f/2.5, the Canon G1X is capable of shoot in RAW and performing 1080p video recording as well. There is a good chance that a similar DIGIC V image processor will be found inside as the S100, which paves the way for multi-area white balance and advanced noise reduction. No idea on pricing, though, but then again all one needs is patience with CES just around the corner.
